Rock Chorus was formed by Lauren Field in 2009 and has choirs in five towns including Berkhamsted.

The choirs perform regularly at a wide variety of events and Lauren said: “I’ve heard great things about the firework show in Tring and we’re looking forward to contributing to a great community atmosphere.”

Tring School Swing Band will perform an energetic up tempo mix of big band classics and current hits such as Little Brown Jug and Uptown Funk.
